Strut That Thing Lyrics

Woke up this morning feeling bad,
Thinking 'bout the times I once have had;
You went out, stayed all night,
Do you think that's treating me right?
'Cause you should not do it, you dog,
Shouldn't do it, you dog, shouldn't do it, you dog,
I'm telling these lovers, how to be strutting that thing night and day
Had your mama doodling around for 'em a while,
Shook a dozen ribs down this aisle;
Deacon Jones gave 'em to pray,
Too much religion is what have had.
Go to heaven, gotta stop this stuff,
'Cause you been strutting that thing, night and day, night and day,
I mean, there's Jenny Lou, out there strutting that thing night and day

Getting sick and tired the way you do,
Kind mama, going to poison you;
Sprinkle goofer dust round your bed,
Wake some morning, find your own self dead,
'Cause you should not do it, you dog,
Shouldn't do it, you dog, shouldn't do it, you dog,
I'm telling these lovers, how to be strutting that thing night and day
Yeah, beat it out!

Oh boy!

There's a lady by the name Miss Lou,
Shook her thing till she caught the 'flu;
Satisfied, she jumped in bed,
She spoke, and spoke like this:
"Shake your shoulder, can't shake your feet,
Shake nothing, mama, but your wicked knees"
'Cause you should not do it, you dog,
Shouldn't do it, you dog, shouldn't do it, you dog,
I'm telling these lovers, how to be strutting that thing night and day
Oh, beat it out!

Take and shake it, lord, you hang it on the wall,
Out the window, catch it 'fore it fall;
Stop awhile, shimmy if it's all night long,
'Times I think you got your habits on,
'Cause you should not do it, you dog,
Shouldn't do it, you dog, shouldn't do it, you -- oh,
I'm telling these lovers, how to be strutting that thing night and day
